Best mobo for XP2500+ OC?

[phrozen_dreamz]

What will be the best investment for a Nforce2 board that OC's the 2500+ nicely? Also a suggestion for Ram? Perhaps the timing for the ram too? I hope someone else has done this coz i dont know where to start.
Thanks!

DFI Infinity Ultra NFII

IMO this is the best NForce2 for OC. Better than the NF7-S.


Mushkin Level2 PC3500 for memory. This comes with BH-5 chips and will OC well with the unlimited supply of DDR voltage available on the Infinity.

msi has really stable overclocking capabilities. plus, it aint so picky with the ram unlike the nf7s.

Yes I have 2800+ @2.23 on MSI and it kicks ass! Nice mobo

I don't like to buy a motherboard with a lot of extras if planning to OC , imo basic boards are more stable .
The latest OC setup I built was a $69 USD Abit NF-7 motherboard with XP2500 Barton and 2 X 256 dual channel kit OCZ pc3500el memory . ThermalRight SLK-900a with Enermax uc-9fab fan for cooling . Enermax 350watts atx v 1.2 power supply with 26A on the +12V output .
Selected optimal settings and XP3200 cpu in bios menu = 200fsb rig . Very stable kit .

Good Luck .

I like the NF7S

[joxsfunk]

abit if you want to oc.

Have to say Abit NF7 Series.

Then get some Muskin Level 2 PC3200 or PC3500 DDR dual pack ( 2 x 256MB should be fine) - or - Some good OCZ EL dual packs -- same speed range. The Abit boards I've worked with seem to like these two brands of memory.
